Albuquerque officer who sent racy texts resigns before termination

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – An Albuquerque police officer who was accused of calling and texting a stripper, after he arrested her has resigned before getting fired.

Officer Frank Tillman was put on leave in February after KRQE News 13 went on special assignment and exposed him.

Tillman sent hundreds of racy texts to Adrienne Ontiveros after arresting her in December on a domestic violence call. Ontiveros filed a complaint with the Citizen’s Police Oversight Agency, the city’s independent office that investigates APD officers.
